Even Chavez himself admitted that was a gift.

Why the silence during Chavez-Taylor 1?

Yeah, his right fist connecting to Taylors already battered face with seconds left before the fight ended was a gift.

Meldrick produced a masterful display, but punched himself out in doing it

No, stopping a fight Meldrick had won on the scorecards with 2 seconds left was a gift. Again, watch Chavez' later fights and there are comments of him calling it a gift or a gift from God.

The bottom line is that a round lasts 3 full minutes. not 2:58 seconds. chavez rendered Taylor unable to continue within the time frame of the round . to say taylor should have been allowed to finish the round because he was ahead on the cards would have robbed Chavez of a well earned victory.dreamroom likes this.

I thought it was a decent stoppage..
Like others have said, it became such a big deal because it was Richard Steele who has a track record of stopping fights in favor of a king fighter.. If it had been mills lane or somebody like that, i dont think it would have caused such a controversy, but having it be steele only added fuel to the fire...
I have probably watched that fight 100 times over the past 2 decades, and i think it was a good stoppage.
It sucks for taylor, but steele was talking to him, asking him to come forward to him, and if he was alright, and taylor just leaned into the corner and stared at his cornermen, and never responded to the ref's instructions,, when that happens they should stop it, since the guy clearly is dazed and has no idea what is going on..
